Welcome from Head of School

Welcome from Our Head of School

Located in the mountain community of Tehachapi, California, Heritage Oak School offers K‐12 students and their families, unique instructional experiences. As the only Biblically based school in our area, we provide an education rooted in the Scriptures that is relevant to today’s culture while meeting the demands your child will face in life beyond graduation. Because the challenges for 21st century youth are so demanding, we do not see our role solely as a college prep school, but as a Kingdom preparatory academy that focuses on spiritual, academic, and personal growth in order to fulfill God’s call on their individual lives. This is an education designed to last a lifetime centered on Truth, goodness, and beauty.

While God has clearly established the parental role as the authority over children which includes educating and discipling them, many parents understand that this task is best accomplished in the structure of a like‐minded community that encourages and builds up both the student and the family. Our goal is not to shelter children, but to prepare them to be secure in their faith and free to love others without fear of losing their own way. Heritage Oak provides just such an environment and both students and families thrive here!

We hope you will take some time to read the personal stories on our website from our students, alumni, parents, and staff in order to hear just how God is cultivating, growing, and producing fruit in the lives of many who pass through these halls. And while our website will help you begin to discover our school, I personally invite you to visit us on campus for a tour as nothing else will tell the Heritage Oak story as clearly as seeing it firsthand.
